This is an open thread to the moderators to once again ask them to revisit the policy about member locations.
Any and all member comment, whether positive or negative is most welcome.
I don't expect that there will ever be a requirement of membership to post one's city, nor am I sure that something that specific is even a good idea, but for some very valid reasons, it would be quite welcome to have at least a region in place. For example, I'm am in Nixa, Mo. but for general needs, saying Southwest Missouri would be enough.
My two primary reasons are for sales or purchases where one could instantly tell if something large was too far away for a trip to pick up (or if it was in an area that has some highly photogenic sites to make a trip more enjoyable than just a pick up marathon), and for simple contact with other shooters in a certain radius to form localized sub groups for clubs, social events, and group outings to favorite locations. To have that in a way that would be searchable such as Arkansas members or Colorado, etc would be incredible.
Is there any way that the mods could consider this, and if a positive decision is made, do a blanket emailing to each member to make a strong request for them to add at least their region to their profile?
Thanks for the work you do, guys. This has been a great site for me for many years now and is a daily fascination.
